hmmm, did you unzip the distribution package?

I experienced the same error and yes I had unzipped the file before attempting an install.

I have read the installation guide and the readme file from the distribution, all my directories are writable and I have still been completely unable to install CB, either using the Joomla Admin features, or ftp.

It seems that many other people have similar difficulties installing CB but there must be others who have managed it.

So far I have spent hours on this problem and got nowhere. :unsure:

Just a hunch...

unzip the comprofiler.zip file and zip it up again and then try and install the new zip.

thanks for the tip. I did as you suggested but nothing changed. I still got the "can't find the XML setup file" message.

The problem is, of course, knowing how much of this situation is attributable to:
  • the present state of RC3 (in my case I have applied two generations of nightly updates - a week apart - since my initial installation),
  • how much is attributable to the installation context
  • and how much is attributable to the CB installation process (automatic and manual).

  • Terribly frustrating and time-consuming though.

    yup - moving targets are difficult.

    CB works ok on stable releases.
